Recently, during an interview, Lover singer Taylor Swift revealed that she had to face sexism remarks early in her career for her dating history
Every successful woman has a story to tell about how people give credit to males for their success or make some sexist remarks for their successful journey. However, a woman is never credited for its hard work and well that what has happened with the American pop singer Taylor Swift. The lady is one of the top-rated singers in Hollywood but to reach to that status, Swift faced sexism remarks early in her career for her dating history.
In the past, Taylor has dated quite a few famous celebs which include Joe Jonas, Tom Hiddleston, Calvin Harris, Conor Kenedy, Taylor Lautner, to name a few. Apparently, people started slut slamming the singer for relationship history with these men. During an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music's Beats 1 show, she said that people used to say that her songs and the lyrics are like a trick to date the high profile males rather than a skill or a craft.

She said, “When I was, like, 23 and people were just kind of reducing me to … kind of making slideshows of my dating life and putting people in there that I’d sat next to at a party once and deciding that my songwriting was like a trick rather than a skill and a craft.” ALSO READ: Taylor Swift chilling with Tom Hiddleston video is #RomanceGoals
She further said that slut-shame happened to her at a very young age, so that was a bit hard for her. She also said that was one of the first times where she was like, ‘Wow, this is not fair.' She said, “In a way, it’s figuring out how to completely minimize that skill by taking something that everyone in their darkest, darkest moments loves to do, which is just to slut-shame, you know?"
Not only this, she also expressed her frustration by saying that people don’t understand how easy it is to infer that someone who’s a female artist or a female in our industry is somehow doing something wrong by wanting love, wanting money, wanting success.
